'Armed with a degree in journalism, Purab Shastri truly believes that the media should be the check point for the people of a country, and therefore, it should report news, instead of manufacturing news. Purab's thinking sets him apart from most youngsters of this country. While everyone is chasing their individual dreams, Purab aggressively wants to work towards a better India. Needless to say, a clash between Purab and the powers-that-be looks inevitable. It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong!

POOR deshmukhBy: parustiwari | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward poor chief minister mr.deshmukh. he was only following congress tradition of promoting his kin . it is a different matter that this time it wasnt politics but films. media is responsible for his resignation.i equally feel media is responsible for many deaths that occured as they were unintentially broadcasting live for the benefit of terrorist. i cannot say about our government but i hope media will act responsiblly.

By conscience or by compulsionBy: Mani | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Shame on you RGV, the CM and his son. They should retire from public life or the public should banish them by defeating in the election and boycot their films

RGV's faultBy: Manik | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward This looks like an explanation put in by RGV using IE as a tool. Pity, IE has now reduced to such low level.There was absolutely no need for this article. We all saw the whole incident on TV, heard RGV's comments and are capable enough to draw our own conclusions.This surely to me looks like a paid article by RGV.Sigh IE!!!
